So far, it seems as though the BLM boys are tolerating the clays. But I went out on Friday morning around 9 and was disappointed to see that much of the effort the clean up team made has already been nixed. THOUSANDS of emptys and a truck load or two of shot up junk from 5 ga jugs to spongebob toys to beer bottles to cans and every other kind of trash you can imagine. I gathered a trashbag load and left somewhat disgusted. It is going to be up to shooters with some ethics to tell the jackholes to pick up their crap! If not, the anti's are going to run with it and another area we can shoot will be gone...speak your mind to the inconsiderate...even though they're armed...

Nubrun...My point exactly. Obviously THAT is working well... it's time to tell them directly...if we want to keep the right. At least one shooter is willing to cover me...thanks Gemini Effect...With Liberty comes great responsibility.

Just shot there today, some ****tard went a tossed about 40 full spray paint cans up in the impact areas. My first 5 minutes there was playing fireman because I was the only person who brought a fire extinguisher. I also had to pack out tons of trash. There must have been 1200 pieces of brass and another 1200 hulls. I'll take the brass if its free, but the hulls and beer bottles kinda pissed me off.

That's a bummer!

I was there yesterday from 9-1 and thought it looked pretty good. On the way out I saw a couple of blm rangers there talking to a large group of people who were using the rocks as a backstop. I gave the rangers a friendly wave and got on my way with a bag of trash, my brass, and my targets.

The guys on the rocks were all shooting their beer bottles. We left around 4 and quite a few people left trashed targets, broken glass, brass and hulls.
On a side note, what's the scrap value of AK brass?

Word of caution... I had a buddy who said there was a lot of LEO activity here recently. Checking serials, vehicle VIN numbers, magazines, ammo, etc... He even said an 80% was confiscated from someone (who knows, could have been prohibited person). Be careful other there you guys.

Sounds like a ploy to scare us all off of the place so he can get more trigger time...

I have been more times than I can count and have never seen any LEO stop and question anyone, at most the Rangers will drive through, turn around and leave.

I too would like to learn the location. I always clean up after myself. Let me know the date/time of the next clean up event.
Im in the process of teaching my daughter to be a responsible 2A practitioner.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys Im fairly new to Cal guns. I just found out about Steele Peak today!!! I am stoked to go out there considering its less than 5 miles from my house. I couldnt agree more about picking up more than you take, but also we need to call out these a**holes that dont pick their crap up. These areas are here for our enjoyment and are only here as long as we take care of them. If any one is down to go shooting and do some pick up send me a message.

I hope this doesn't close Steele Peak permanently. Sounds very close...

The Perris Valley Line project is a 24 mile extension of the Metrolink 91 Line, currently providing service from Riverside to Fullerton and downtown Los Angeles. The terminus of the line is in the City of Perris at Route 74 and Ethanac Road.

I was out there the other day myself and I didnt think it was very trashed at all. I always shoot BLM land and this was one of the cleanest spots Ive seen. I will say I did see a ton of hoodlums and wish these people knew the law when it comes to shooting at BLM land but what can you do.

Pm me coordinates please.. Would love to help clean up this weekends.. I will be bringing my dads truck and two trash bins and some cousins.. Its going to be my contribution to keep this place open all to enjoy

For everyone asking for directions, head to your local National Forest office and have a look at their flyer wall. The Cleveland National forest office in Rancho Bernardo had a pamphlet with pictures of the major turns. Alternately, take a look at Google Earth and search for Maywood Rod and Gun club. The entrance to Steel Peak is just past it. Google Earth will give you a good idea of the layout and where the shooting positions are (the pic must have been a busy day out there - several EZ ups, lots of trucks). I'll be there tomorrow to sight in my .308 before the deer season opener, I have a green Frontier 4 door. Stop by and say hi...

Does anyone know if the BLM has temporarily closed this area due to the recent gov' shutdown? Eat Dirt posted in another thread that Bee Canyon had the gates locked. I was planning on going out there next Saturday. I'd like to not make the trip out there to find a gate locked, or chain pulled across the entrance.
